Last Updated: In the comment section, some people were amazed by the video, while others asked IFS how to differentiate between AI-generated and real videos. In today's time, AI-generated videos are taking over social media, with some being so lifelike that it's hard to distinguish reality from fiction. A recent viral clip has sparked debate, showing a lion approaching a sleeping man in an Indian street, sniffing him, and then walking away unscathed. The internet is buzzing with questions: 'Is this real or AI-generated? The video garnered 7 million views on social media, and now it's been claimed as AI-generated by IFS Parween Kaswan. This raises important questions about the potential for AI to be used to mislead or confuse people. Given that AI is still in its early stages, it's concerning to think about the possibilities as the technology continues to evolve. This video showing a lion sniffing human has around 7 millions views. This is AI generated video. Imagine how AI can be used to confuse people. And now imagine AI is still at nascent stage !! — Parveen Kaswan, IFS (@ParveenKaswan) June 8, 2025 In the comment section, some people were amazed by the video, while others asked IFS how to differentiate between AI-generated and real videos. 'Sir, can you please elaborate on how you identify this video generated by AI?" one user asked.

He soon revealed himself and celebrated the film's good opening numbers with the audience. Take a look: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Viral Bhayani (@viralbhayani) Sajid Nadiadwala experimented with two different endings for Housefull 5, which varied across theatres. Speaking about it, the film producer shared, 'With Housefull 5, we wanted to take a bold creative swing that hasn't been done before internationally for any thriller film. The idea of having multiple endings, multiple experiences has been with me for 30 years. Since, i wanted to make Housefull 5 a thriller comedy, there couldn't have been a better way to execute my idea of having multiple endings than this." He added, 'It felt right to do something radical as we celebrate 75 years of Nadiadwala Grandson in the industry. Housefull is India's biggest comedy franchise and for the fifth instalment, we had to push the boundaries of what comedy can be. The idea of different endings came from a simple question: why should the audience always have just one version of the truth in a thriller? With Housefull 5, we've built a film that plays with form while staying completely rooted in entertainment. It's a killer comedy, literally, with twists that change depending on where you're watching it. and I'm proud we're doing it under the banner of Nadiadwala Grandson as we mark 75 years in the business. Our legacy has always been about embracing scale, stars, and giving audiences newer experiences and Housefull 5 takes all it to another level." He further mentioned, 'It's a natural extension of the theatrical experience: creating intrigue, rewatch value, and a sense of discovery. In a world of spoilers and algorithms, we're bringing back that element of surprise. And that's where the fun begins." Housefull 5 boasts an ensemble of 19 stars, comprising Akshay Kumar, joined by returning favourites and some new faces including Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakhri, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Nana Patekar, Chitrangada Singh, Fardeen Khan, Chunky Pandey, Johnny Lever, Shreyas Talpade, Dino Morea, Ranjeet, Soundarya Sharma, Nikitin Dheer, and Akashdeep Sabir. The film, directed by Tarun Mansukhani, released on June 6, 2025. First Published:

The first weekend collections of Housefull 5 are the biggest till date for Akshay Kumar, surpassing his previous best, Sooryavanshi (Rs 117 crore). It is also the second biggest opening weekend of the year at the worldwide box office for a Hindi film after Chhaava (Rs 157 crore), bettering Sikandar (Rs 124 crore). Housefull 5 has grossed Rs 95.25 crore in India, and another Rs 37 crore (Estimates) in the international markets, taking worldwide weekend total to Rs 132.25 crore. The film has scored well in markets like New Zealand, Fiji, Australia, Canada, Germany, and USA, whereas UAE was just about decent. The film will be looking to enter the Rs 200 crore club at the worldwide box office in 8 to 10 days flat, and the aim will be to close around the Rs 300 crore mark, though the hold on Monday will play a big role in deciding the fate of the film going forward. Talking of Akshay Kumar films, Housefull 5 holds the top spot as far as global opening is concerned, followed by Soorayavanshi, Mission Mangal, Good Newwz, and Housefull 3. The first weekend results are very good, and has laid the platform for the film to emerge a success story, though the film needs to record a trend on the weekdays to seal the tag of a winner.
